Interesting article from Redfin.  Demand for vacation homes continues to soar. To give perspective,  the annual rise in demand for second homes is nearly quadruple the 34% year-over-year gain for primary homes.   The number of buyers who locked in mortgage rates for second homes shot up a record 128% year over year in March. That marks the 10th straight month of 80%-plus annual growth. What's more, home prices in seasonal towns, where second homes are often located, are up more than prices in non-seasonal towns. The median sale price for homes in seasonal towns rose 19% year over year.  http://redfin.sharedacard.top/3h62zryu
